Dangerous driving?? Stick it in the garage and spend 5 years cleaning it. When your bans up you'll have a showcar
How long is 2 2/1 years? 4?

Sorry mate, but I think it was a mistake coming on here and even mentioning your ban. I think you know the answer is to sell the car, it'll be worth **** all in 5 or even 2.5 years time. Plough the money into a nice mountain bike.

Your bans must have been pretty close together for it to be up to 5 years.
I've been banned twice, sounds bad when you say it like that but they were 10 years apart and my last one was up 6 years ago

Very lucky not to be sent down I thought they can lock you up for that sort of thing, as said above look on the bright side and get a really good mountain bike and get fit.
Oh and stop drinking

Get it looking top drawer and sell. Keeping a car sitting for 5 years then trying to put it through an mot might be hard. Perished bushes, seals and what not.
Dont let it go for less than its worth though just 'caus you cant use it. Its these kind of circumstances that bring the price of Subarus down. Everyone else thats selling up have to think about lowering their price just to compete

3 post and your first was to tell us youve been banned! not the best 'hello' in the world.
what car is it youve got...classic or newage. i think ide sell up mate,as above i very much doubt you'de get insurance on a scooby again anytime soon. in todays market ide say breaking it would be best to redeem the money youve put into it.
any pics of your car (providing this is a genuine thread), lots of people come on here talking bollocks.

Without a doubt sell it, a vehicle unused for 5 years is a complete waste and depreciation will kill the car.
I suggest forgetting about any car for a very long time, invest your money in some other hobby - have you looked at mountain biking? some people on here obsess about their bikes more than their cars and plenty of opportunities to mod them
Im sure you dont need the lecture but 3rd ban says maybe you'll never learn? stick to the ban and dont be tempted to drive while disqualified, the penalties are not worth it!
good luck getting through it

you must sell it. cars need to be driven.
youre in the best position as you dont need to sell so you could get top dollar.
pour the monies into a house or take your missus away somewhere nice.
either way if you keep it will just sit there and rot and waste your hard earned.
sell it a.s.a.p.

Sell it.
Then put the money in a bank account for 3 - 5 years, when you get your license back you'll be able to probably afford two the rate they're dropping at the moment
Good luck, DCI

Sell it and get some help/therapy as you have a problem by the sound of it.
Try to learn from your mistakes in future and remember once is a mistake, twice maybe, after that it is plain old stupidity!
